Hi Peter,
I don't think you can, though there may well be some trick I don't know.
You can pipe the output of FINDSTR to a file, but I don't think you can
include the name of the file being searched. I'm also not sure how you'd
loop through all the files in the folder -- that's where I would have used
something like qbasic ;-).
If you just want files whose _names_ contain "ABC123", then John Ross's
suggestion would work:
dir dirname\*ABC123*.* /b /s > filename.txt
or alternatively:
dir dirname\ /b /s > filename.txt
findstr "ABC123" filename.txt > filnam2.txt
Good luck!
